Francisco Nunez, age 66, and his son of the same name, age 24, both
mechanics, were driving south of the city in their 1930 Chevy pickup when
their vehicle was lifted from road. They experienced a total change in
their environment and scenery and found themselves speeding through a city
with tall buildings on a five-lane highway. The sky, which had been clear
and starry, was now red.

They were nearly blinded by a brilliant red light and felt very cold.
The vehicle's engine and the car stereo stopped running, and they noticed
that all sounds had ceased. Finally their car "landed" back on the highway
near Lujan de Cuyo, about 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) beyond the point where
the incident had begun. Their pickup's engine restarted and they drove
home. Both men felt a compulsive need to wash the car and take a bath.
